The Lighthouse
7 journalers for this copy...
Combe Island off the Cornish coast offers rest and seclusion to over-stressed professionals who have paid the price of getting to the top. But when one of these distinguished visitors is found hanging from the top of the island's lighthouse, murder - not suicide - is suspected.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are immediately called in: the investigation must be swift, discreet, decisive. However, Dalgliesh has his work cut out, since both residents and visitors to Combe Island guard their privacy well - even when murder makes them a suspect. Does the islanders' reticence betray a knowledge of the crime? Another death and Dalgliesh's own life in danger throws the entire investigation into jeopardy.

I enjoyed reading this crime story. I really liked that this focused on characters rather than more or less disgusting pathological details.

Brilliant! When I first saw the size of the book I thought that it may be too long-winded but the author used the high number of pages very well to provide wonderful portraits of the characters so that it was a pleasure to read.

I received it yesterday; thanks for sending it on, Lemmy, and thanks for sharing, Lilyklip.

Currently reading it; I will ask for Appelsiini's address.
Brilliant! Ms James (see pic) has done it again, this is a real page-turner, with vivid descriptions both of landscapes and characters. I felt like I was living in the island with all the suspects for a while!All characters are beautifully depicted, including Adam Dalgliesh, who is the main character in this and many other novels by Ms James, and his police colleagues.
I couldn't guess who the murderer was, just as sometimes happens... but everything fell neatly into place by the end.
Thanks for sharing, Lilyklip; it will soon be on its way to Finland.
Sent today to Finland, with "a little extra something" from Madrid.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I finished this one a while ago, but again I'm in hurry and just dropped by to let you guys know the book is safe with me. I'll do the journaling when I'm coming home again. I have sent a PM for MizKaren but I don't know if it has reached her. I'll send her a new one soon.
Edit 2nd June 2013:
Just realized I haven't said anything about the book! It was great! I love these old-fashion murder mysteries. Again Mrs James had plotted a good story, although I found it a bit weird how everything was physically sorted out. Well, I guess that's the mysterious human mind! Mrs Burbridge was my favourite, I would have loved to read more about her sewing room and crafts.

I'm making the release notes ready as I'm not sure when I'm going to Post Office, next week anyway! I'm sorry about the delay but the journey will continue again and this book is heading to beautiful Mauritius. You guys have a really nice island there! ;) Travel safe!
Thank you so much for sending me the book, Appelsiini! It was delivered to my office today, and from what reviews I've read about it, it appears to be a book I will have a lot of pleasure in reading!
Many thanks again :-)
